There's political and political. Lamenting the harm done to the environment is safer territory than overtly taking sides. This sounds like what it is, a song written by someone of a certain age brought up in Germany. Nothing wrong with that. I remember this kind of earnest environmental lyric from when I lived there in the early eighties. Here's one I remember. I still have the record somewhere.
I guess my criticism would be that this is basically a shopping list of bad things. I tend to think that songs of this kind are better when they're focused on one issue that they can really get their teeth into and include a call to action or a humorous take down of those deemed responsible (as in the example above).
I enjoyed listening though, and any song about which JAPOV can find nothing polite to say has to be doing something right

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
